Abstract

As part of a District-based audit of diabetes care all attendances (of diabetic and non-diabetic patients) at a local Accident and Emergency department were monitored over a 3-month period. A total of 9505 attendances took place of which 62 (0.7%) were by people with diabetes. This was no different from the expected number of attendances (61.5) based on the rates seen in non-diabetic individuals. Of these 62 attendances, 20 (by 15 individuals) were directly related to diabetes (hypoglycaemia 17, hyperglycaemia 1, for supplies of insulin or equipment 2). When these diabetes-specific attendances were removed from the total, the number of attendances (42) was significantly (p = 0.004) less than that expected. Diabetic males aged 0-19 years attended significantly more often than non-diabetic individuals of the same age but this excess was solely attributable to diabetes.

摘要

作为一项基于地区的糖尿病护理审计的一部分，在3个月的时间里，对当地一家急症室的所有就诊情况（糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者）进行了监测。总共发生了9505次就诊，其中62次（0.7%）是糖尿病患者。这与根据非糖尿病个体的就诊率预期的就诊次数（61.5次）没有差异。在这62次就诊中，20次（涉及15名个体）与糖尿病直接相关（低血糖17次，高血糖1次，胰岛素或设备供应2次）。当从总数中去除这些特定于糖尿病的就诊次数后，就诊次数（42次）显著低于预期（p = 0.004）。0至19岁的糖尿病男性就诊频率明显高于同年龄的非糖尿病个体，但这种差异完全归因于糖尿病。
